Everyone, please be careful if you are still trying to travel for the holidays. It really doesn't look like this weather is letting up, plus it's... well, you all have seen the news, right?

I'm somewhat glad I mailed all my gifts out earlier, but I got a message from the post office saying the gifts will likely be delayed a few extra days, just from all the heavy weather. Eridan and I are staying in Cerulean for the time being, so please, nobody worry about us.

I also had a question, um.. is there such an item that makes it so a Pokemon doesn't evolve? Do you think, if it is real, that it is a good idea to use? Or is it wrong to make it impossible for a Pokemon to evolve?

Yes. Honestly, I would tell another human dealing with a different troll not to give it too much concern. You can fall rather easily into quadrants and not really have to be too concerned about them, for the most part.

Eridan was...is...rather more obsessed with them. Or with filling them.

[fairycircle]

I can kind of tell. I do think a lot of it is from just being lonely, so hopefully.. so long as I don't disappear suddenly, he won't feel like that as much anymore.

[Video : Private]

[wontturntostone]

Maybe.

Just...be careful, please?

[Video : Private]

[fairycircle]

I will. I have some pretty strong Pokemon of my own, too!

[wontturntostone]

[She nods.] Right.

It's strange to think of having something else fighting his battle, but I guess, with no weapons here it's rather necessary...

It does take a bit of getting used to, and I have heard of some people who spar with their Pokemon.. but he isn't exactly the type to do that. So I'm pretty certain just keeping an electric or grass type Pokemon will be just fine, and I have both. Eridan only uses water type Pokemon, though he does have a bird and a ghost as well.. he just prefers the ones based on living in water.

[So if you're truly worried, get an electric or grass type, gurl :>]

[Video : Private]

[wontturntostone]

[She actually laughs.] Somehow, that doesn't surprise me. He gets very stuck on specific ideas, and getting him away from them can be...impossible.

Ask him about science wands sometime.

[A thoughtful pause.]

Electric or grass. Right. I have a...grass, I think. Or plant? She's a Budew.

[fairycircle]

He does treat them well, even the ones that aren't water types, so I'm not too worried about making him change his mind. If he can do it despite those disadvantages, that just makes him have to think outside the box more on how to defeat his opponent!

Science wands.. wouldn't that be magic wands?

Budew? Hm, let me check.. [Getting her Pokedex out, have some data!] Budew, the Bud Pokemon. Sensitive to changing temperature, the bud is said to bloom when it feels the sun's warm touch. It evolves into Roselia when leveled up with high friendship during the day, and then into Roserade with a shiny stone.

[Video : Private]

[wontturntostone]

Yes, of course, but he will never admit that they're magic wands.

[She might not be trying to destroy whatever Eridan And Cheria have, but that doesn't mean she can't cause a faint bit of trouble right?]

So she is a plant type. The blooming thing...I like that.

[She pats her little Budew on the head gently, and it coos. It never really leaves her alone, but she doesn't much mind.]

[fairycircle]

Doesn't believe the least bit in magic, even though this place is full of it, huh? I guess whatever works for him is fine!

[Trouble is what ... helps .......... right?]

Hee, she does sound like a really sweet Pokemon to have!

[Video : Private]

[wontturntostone]

He's pretty stubborn.

[She nods.]

She is. I'm still trying to name her though.

[Video : Private]

[fairycircle]

Hmm.. well, there are several names of flowers I could offer. Rose would be an option, though she would be a Roselia and a Roserade after evolving. Then there are others like Blossom, Daisy, Flora, and Iris, that are fairly popular.

[Video : Private]

[wontturntostone]

I hadn't...perhaps after an Alternian flower. Someone suggested having a naming theme, but I don't think I am going to do that. It seems more appropriate to name each one after some defining feature.

[Video : Private]

[fairycircle]

Then I hope you get the chance to learn more about your Budew soon. They always seem so excited when they get their new name that just isn't the species name.

[Video : Private]

[wontturntostone]

I would imagine. She answers to Plantbeast but I can't keep calling her that forever.

I will have to think of something soon. Do you have many of them?

[Video : Private]

[fairycircle]

I have a fair amount, about.. [Thinks a moment, listing the names in her head.] Twenty! It's funny how most of mine have wound up being water types too..

[Video : Private]

[wontturntostone]

Do you look for a particular type, or do you just find ones you like as you travel?

[Video : Private]

[fairycircle]

Mostly just find ones I like as I go, but I always like cute ones? It's a little tough, a lot of normal types are super cute more often than not, haha!

[Video : Private]

[wontturntostone]

I haven't really given much thought to any of the pokebeast breeding and collecting, beyond reading my gear.

I suppose I will have to determine where I will be traveling and then research what creatures are even available.

[fairycircle]

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help! I think another breeder named Aradia had a fair amount of information as well from what she's studied out of her group.
